I'm running 3.2.4. The freezes started with some firmware update some time ago, don't exactly remember which version it was. I was hoping that maybe it's a temporary bug, and Akai will fix the issue, but it's still present to this day. I've seen some people complain about this on Youtube, so it's not just me.
I started to wonder if Akai is even aware of the problem. It looks like the control surface stops responding completely after a couple of minutes of running (it even stops blinking), and the sound stops, too, but the touchscreen continues to work fine. But I can't even switch between modes with the screen alone. It can even happen before any project is loaded, that is on the welcome screen, that shows you the demo songs. Do you guys experience it, too?
To me it sounds like some mutex locking bug, that was introduced in some version, but that's just my hunch. At this rate, for several months now, my Force is essentially unusable.
